Know what I love about Android hackers? They’ve got moxie. Take a look at these folks on the XDA-developer forums: a user named itsjusttime put up a bounty post offering cold hard cash to whoever could get AT&T’s Galaxy Note I717 up and running on T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network.
Now, just over two weeks later, a solution has been found, and it’s surprisingly easy to pull off if you’re… → Read More
My Momma used to always say* that you’re not a real geek unless you’re beaming out WiFi, but these days — with the advances in mobile technology that have happened since 1994 — I usually say that the you’re not a real geek unless you’re beaming WiFi with a 21Mbps back end.
So, are you a real geek, or just a poseur? If you’ve got the guts (short for geek nuts), come February 2011, you’ll be… → Read More

Just the other day, AT&T announced that it was able to work with Sling Media in order to optimize Sling player for AT&T’s 3G network. That’s good news for consumers and all, but it appears as though AT&T might have been doing a little posturing to make itself look like the good guy.

AT&T users are still out of luck and limited to EDGE speeds on the handset, but according to documents filed at the FCC… → Read More
